Abstract
Aerobic work capacity (maximum oxygen uptake) of indigenous populations in various countries has been determined by using treadmill walking and bicycle ergometry (1–7, 9–12, 14–23). The maximum oxygen uptake during treadmill work was consistently higher (7–15%) than during bicycle work. Since both incremental and constant loading procedures have been used in determining maxVo2, one must consider the methods used in obtaining maxVo2 before drawing any conclusions. Hence, for comparing maximum oxygen uptake between various indigenous populations, it would be important to standardize the procedure to be used. Recently, the I.B.P. (International Biological Program) set a standard method for the measurement of work capacity. This study was concerned with the measurement of aerobic work capacity on Japanese ranging from 8 to 31 years old, by using die method described in the I.B.P. Handbook No. 9.
